WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS OFFICIAL TOW-BOAT AGREEMENT WITH MasterCraft
Even heavy snow, airline cancellations and storms could not stop the teams from MasterCraft and the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) from meeting at the London Boat Show last weekend ! With some serious business to conclude, Kuno Ritschard IWWF signed the formal TOW BOAT Agreement with MasterCraft’s Ian Birdsall, VP International Sales, and Will Furze, International Marketing Manager. This major six-year official towboat agreement will cover the World Championships for Tournament, and Disabled Waterskiing, Wakeboard and the Waterski & Wakeboard World Cup series. MasterCraft have provided the official tow boat for all 29 World Cup Stops to date. The experience gained with MasterCraft over the past six years in developing the Waterski & Wakeboard World Cup series has greatly helped in the expansion of new markets around the world for both the sport and MasterCraft. This expertise will also play a crucial role in the management of future World Championships events. Kuno Ritschard, IWWF President, congratulated MasterCraft on their comprehensive official tow-boat bid success. Ian Birdsall also confirmed that MasterCraft will be producing “World Championship” editions of the Pro Star and X-Star models which will be available for purchase by Federations and Clubs throughout the world. All shared a glass of champagne at the London Boat Show last weekend to get the World Championships and World Cup seasons off to a confident start !
